(UM) 84-HUD, Mobile Home Approved.

2. The ﬁ replace is to be secured to the mobile home structure. Use same holes that attached the ﬁ replace to the pallet to secure it to the ﬂ oor using 1/4 in. x 2 in. (6 mm x 51 mm) lag bolts or equivalent.

3. Unit must be grounded with #8 solid copper grounding wire or equivalent and terminated at each end with N.E.C. approved grounding device.

Refer to Minimum Clearances to Combustibles on pages 11-12 and chimney components on pages 62-63.

5. Floor protections requirements on pages 39-41 must be followed precisely.

6. Use silicone to create an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure.

Follow the chimney and chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions when installing the ﬂ ue system for use in a mobile home.

If unit burns poorly while an exhaust blower is on in home, (i.e., range hood), increase combustion air.

NOTE: Top sections of chimney must be removable to allow maximum clearance of 13.5 ft (41 1 cm) from ground level for transportation purposes.

B. Mobile Home Approved

This appliance is approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home ﬂ oor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The ﬁ replace must be properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home and use only listed double-wall connector pipe.

Outside Air must be installed in a mobile home installation.

An outside air termination cap is supplied with your 7100 Fireplace for installation in a mobile home. If you use an alternative material it must be designed to prevent material from dropping into the area beneath the mobile home, and to prevent rodents from entering from the outside.

1. An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a ﬁ re. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector , ﬁ re ofﬁ cials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection and permits.

When planning a ﬁ replace installation, it is necessary to de- termine the following information before installing:

• Where the fireplace is to be installed. See Sections 3 and 4.

• The vent system conﬁ guration to be used. See Sections 5 and 6.

• Electrical wiring. See Section 3.

• Framing and ﬁ nishing details. See Sections 3, 6 and 8.

• Whether optional accessories are desired. See Section 12.

Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent ﬁ replaces successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:

• Preventing negative pressure

• Location of ﬁ replace and chimney

• Upper level air leaks: recessed lighting, attic hatch opening, duct leaks.

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure, the following must be considered:

• Install the outside air kit.

• Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combustion appliances and exhaust equipment.

• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not located in the immediate vicinity of the ﬁ replace.

• Avoid installing the ﬁ replace near doors, walkways or small isolated spaces.

• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design; attic hatches weather stripped or sealed; attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams taped or sealed.

Location of the ﬁ replace and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 7.1, on page 7, the chimney should:

• Be installed through the warm airspace enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die-down of the ﬁ re.

• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the effects of wind turbulence.

• Be located away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

WARNING

Asphyxiation Risk

Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire needs to draft properly for safe operation.

B. Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-

able for the ﬁ replace to operate properly. Causes for this imbalance include:

• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.).

• Range hoods.

• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters and other combustion appliances.

• Clothes dryers.

• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning.

• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system.

Offsets can restrict draft so their use should be minimized. Consider the ﬁ replace location relative to ﬂ oor and ceiling and attic joists.

The 7100FP Fireplace requires a minimum ﬂ ue draft of -0.10 inches of water column on High, and -0.04 inches of water column on Low, as measured with a draft meter. Most dealers have draft meters available to measure your ﬂ ue draft if you suspect a problem.

If the ﬁ re is difﬁ cult to start, and smoke spills out of the door, or you ﬁ nd it hard to establish and maintain a moderately high burn rate, then the ﬂ ue draft is too low and corrective measures must be taken.

NOTE: Cold air inﬁ ltration can cause frosting on glass.

E. Construct the Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the ﬁ re- place and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a chase.

In cold climates, it is recommended that the chase be well insulated using batt type insulation between the joists.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be checked.

Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be insulated.

Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling ﬁ restops at each ﬂ oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3048 mm) of clear space to control spread of ﬁ re.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever ﬂ oor at the ﬁ rst level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 14.1. Vapor and air inﬁ ltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.

Holes and other openings should be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced ﬁ ber glass insulation.

Materials

a. The chase is constructed using framing materials much

the same as the walls in your home. A variety of siding materials may be used including brick, stone, veneer brick, or standard siding materials.

b. In constructing the chase, several factors must be con-

sidered:

1) Maintain a 2 in. (51 mm) air space around the chimney.

2) The chase top must be constructed of non-combustible material.

3) In cold climates, a ﬁ restop spacer should be installed in an insulated false ceiling at the 8 ft. (2438 mm) level above the ﬁ replace assembly. This reduces heat loss through the chase.

4) In cold climates, the walls of the chase should be insulated to the level of the false ceiling as shown in Figure 14.1. This will help reduce heat loss from the home around the ﬁ replace.

Three examples of chase applications are shown in Figure 14.2.

1. Fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase.

2. Chimney offset through exterior wall and enclosed in chase.

3. Chase constructed on roof.

All outside walls should be insulated.

Installation of Fireplace

CAUTION

Sharp Edges

• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation.

A. Install the Outside Air Kit

This ﬁ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ﬁ replace system. See Section 2.

Using an outside air kit must be used for combustion to minimize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. We recommend you utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the outside air kit. The outside air kit inlet should be positioned in a manner that will not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some installations the air duct may need to be run vertically. In such an installation, a 3 ft (914 mm) height difference must be maintained from the top of the uppermost chimney section to the outside combustion air inlet. See Figure 16.1 on page 16.

See Figure 16.2 on page 16 for proper placement of outside air inlet.

The outside air kit is installed on the right hand side of the ﬁ replace. See Figure 15.1 for handle location/operation.

7100FP EPA Woodburning Fireplace

Cut a 6 in. (152 mm) hole in outside wall to accommodate air piping. The outside air is located on top, auxiliary convection air intake is located on the bottom. See Figure

15.1.

2. Use 6 in. (152 mm) metal ﬂ ex or rigid piping (not supplied) to directly connect outside air to ﬁ replace intake. Insulate the pipe to prevent frost condensation.

3. Use the supplied termination caps.

4. Seal between the wall and the pipe with silicone to prevent moisture penetration and air leaks.

5. Seal between the termination cap and the house with silicone to prevent air inﬁ ltration.

NOTE: A control knob allows you control of the outside air

inlet. Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the ﬁ replace venting properly.

IMPORTANT!

TURN CLOCKWISE TO “OPEN” POSITION.

OUTSIDE AIR KNOB MUST BE IN THE “OPEN” POSITION TO OPERATE FIREPLACE PROPERLY.

MAY BE CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE TO PREVENT COLD AIR INFILTRATION.

B. Auxiliary Convection Air System

Both the Outside Air and Auxiliary Air kits are installed

on the right hand side of the ﬁ replace.

Auxiliary convection air allows you to use outside air to ﬂ ow over the blowers, where it is heated and then distributed into the room producing positive pressure inside the home. Alternatively , you can also run a 6 in. (152 mm) duct to another location in your home and use as a cold air return within the home.

The auxiliary convection lever allows you to change the ﬁ replace from a zone heater into a whole house heater.

LEFT: Slide to the left and use the ﬁ replace as a zone heater. This option pulls room air into the bottom grille of the ﬁ replace, heats the air and re-circulates it to the room(s).

RIGHT: house heater for room convection air.

Slide to the right and use the ﬁ replace as a whole

Left = Room Air Right =Auxiliary Air

The auxiliary convection lever is located underneath the front lower panel. See Figure 17.2.

September 7, 2007

433-1390D

Figure 17.2 Auxiliary Convection Air Lever

Page 17

7100FP EPA Woodburning Fireplace

The auxiliary convection lever allows you to choose where the convection air is coming from. You can either use room air from the same room where the ﬁ re- place is installed (all the way to the left) or from duct work which can be run to another room in the house or to the exterior of the home to use outside air (all the way to the right).

NOTE: If you live in an area that experiences very cold winter months, you will want to pull in room air from your home as opposed to pulling in cold air from the outside of the home. This will eliminate creating a draft of cold outside air inﬁ l- trating your home when your are not using your ﬁ replace.

B. Chimney Termination Requirements

To determine the chimney components needed to complete your particular installation, follow the steps below:

• Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace installation. This dimension is measured from the base of the ﬁ replace assembly to the point where the smoke exits the termination cap.

• Subtract the effective height of the ﬁ replace assembly from the overall height of the ﬁ replace installation (measured from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the termination cap, 13 ft. (4m).

• Refer to Table 21.2 to determine what components must be selected to complete the ﬁ replace installation.

• Determine the number of ceiling ﬁ restops, stabilizers, roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace installation.

Page 21

7100FP EPA Woodburning Fireplace

C. Using Offsets/Returns

To bypass any overhead obstructions, the chimney may be offset using an offset/return.

An offset and return may be attached together or a chimney section(s) may be used between an offset and return.

Perform the following steps to determine the correct chimney component combination for your particular installation:

• Measure how far the chimney needs to be shifted to enable it to avoid the overhead obstacle. See Figure 22.2. Use dimension “A” to determine chimney section required to achieve the needed shift.

• After determining the offset dimension, refer to Table 22.1 and ﬁ nd the “A” dimension closest to but not less than the distance of shift needed for your installation.

• The “B” dimension that coincides with the “A” dimension represents the required vertical clearance that is needed to complete the offset and return.

WARNING

Fire Risk

DO NOT combine offsets to create an offset

greater than 30° from vertical.

• Draft will be restricted.

• Read across the chart and ﬁ nd the number of chimney sections required and the model number of those particular chimney parts.

• Whenever the chimney penetrates a ﬂ oor/ceiling, a ceiling ﬁ restop must be installed.

• The effective height of the ﬁ replace assembly is measured from the base of the ﬁ replace.

Note: You must provide support for the pipe during construction and check to be sure inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney section from the ﬁ replace or at any chimney joint.

• Ceiling ﬁ restops must be used at ceiling/ﬂ oor.

• Chase construction requires ceiling ﬁ restops at each ﬂ oor or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.

• Use same dimensional lumber as joists.

Ceiling ﬁ restop slows spread of ﬁ re and reduces cold air inﬁ ltration.

G. Install the Attic Insulation Shield

An insulation shield must be installed when there is a possibility of insulation coming into contact with the factory built chimney system.

• Bend the tabs at the top of the attic insulation shield inward. This will help keep the chimney section centered in the shield.

• Position the shield over the vertical chimney section where it penetrates a ceiling ﬁ restop.

• Slide the shield down until it rests on the ceiling ﬁ restop. The ceiling ﬁ restop will support the insulation shield. See Figures 25.1 and 25.2.

H. Double-check the Chimney Assembly

Continue assembling the chimney sections up through the ceiling ﬁ restops as needed. While doing so, be aware of the height and unsupported chimney length limitations given under Section 5.A. Chimney Requirements.

Check each section by pulling up slightly from the top to ensure proper engagement before installing the succeeding sections. If they have been connected correctly , they will not disengage when tested.

I. Secure the Chimney

When offsets and returns are joined to straight pipe sections, they must be locked into position with the screws provided* (outer only), using the predrilled holes. To prevent gravity from pulling the chimney sections apart, the returns and the chimney stabilizers have hanger straps for securing these parts to joists or rafters. See Figure 25.3.

* Use #6 or #8 sheet metal screw, or larger, no longer than

1/2 in. (13mm).

Operating Instructions

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Do not operate ﬁ replace before reading and understanding operating instructions.

Failure to operate ﬁ replace properly may cause ﬁ re.

A. General Information

Fireplaces, as well as other woodburning appliances, have been used safely for many years. It has been our experience that most problems are caused by improper installation and operation of the ﬁ replace. Make certain that installation and operation of the ﬁ replace system is in accordance with these instructions.

It is extremely important that the ﬁ re be supervised when- ever the ﬁ replace is in use. It is also recommended that an annual inspection be performed on the ﬁ replace system to determine if the ﬂ ue system needs to be cleaned, or as in the case of any appliance, if minor repairs are required to maintain the system in top operating condition.

WARNING

HOT! DO NOT TOUCH. SEVERE BURNS MAY RESULT. CLOTHING IGNITION MAY RESULT.

Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation and cool down.

• Keep children away.

• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as ﬁ replace.

• Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.

• Do NOT operate with protective barriers removed.

• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other combustibles away.

B. Outside Air

A source of air (oxygen) is required in order for combustion to take place. Whatever air is consumed by the ﬁ re must be replaced through cracks around windows, under doors, etc. Most newly constructed houses or existing homes ﬁ tted with tightly sealed doors and windows are relatively air tight. In this case, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home.

The 7100FP Fireplace comes equipped with an outside air intake to feed combustion air from outside the home, along with an outside air termination cap. The 6 in. (152 mm) solid/ ﬂ ex pipe is not supplied.

Outside air is required to minimize the effects of negative pressure within the structure. It is recommended to utilize the shortest duct run to optimize the performance of the Outside Air ﬂ ex tubing. The outside air inlet thimble should be positioned above the ground level, and must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice and/or snow. If you live in an area that experiences deep snow levels, this must be taken into consideration when determining the height placement above ground level. It must be unrestricted while unit is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a ﬁ re. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

This ﬁ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventilation is provided to allow proper draft to the ﬁ re- place system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the fireplace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which create a negative air pressure within the structure where the ﬁ replace is located.

C. Clear Space Near the Fireplace

Combustible materials must not be stored on the hearth extension. Room furnishings such as drapes, curtains, chairs or other combustibles must be at least 4 ft (1219mm) from the open front of the ﬁ replace.

D. Firescreen

A ﬁ rescreen is optional to control sparks. It must be in place whenever the ﬁ replace is in use. Glass doors or ﬁ rescreens must not be used to hold burning material inside the ﬁ re- place. Only those glass doors speciﬁ cally tested and listed for use with the speciﬁ c ﬁ replace model should be used.

Use both hands to stabilize the screen. Ensure that the screen is fully attached. Be careful not to stack wood close to the front or too high that logs could roll out the front. Start with a small ﬁ re and adjust your heat to desired setting. If smoke spillage occurs, put on gloves and then remove the screen and close the doors. Refer to Troubleshooting Draft Problems on page 52.

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Close ﬁ rescreen when burning ﬁ replace.

• Do not use ﬁ rescreen or glass doors to

hold burning material in ﬁ replace.

Firescreen controls sparks. Glass may break or burning material may

roll out.

• Always wear gloves when installing or removing the screen as the screen may become extremely hot while in use.

NOTE: OUTSIDE AIR IS REQUIRED.

An outside air control handle allows you control of the outside air inlet. This may be closed only when the ﬁ replace is not in use to prevent cold air inﬁ ltration. Use of outside air for combustion is required to conserve heated air within the structure and to provide make up air to keep the ﬁ replace venting properly.

See Figure 44.1, on page 44, for location and operation.

CAUTION

Outside air control handle may be warm. Adjust before lighting ﬁ re.

F. Blower Operation

Instructions with Blower Override Switch in manual position.

1. Initial (cold) Startup: Leave blower off until your ﬁ re- place is hot and a good coal bed is established, approximately 30 minutes after fuel is lit.

2. High Burn Setting: The blower may be left on throughout the burn.

3. Medium or Medium High Burn Setting: The blower should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on medium or high rate.

4. Low Burn Setting: The blower tends to cool off the ﬁ replace. Leave blower off until the burn is well established; then, if you wish, turn the blower on at a low rate.

NOTE: The blower is equipped with a snap disc that will turn the blower on and off depending on the temperature of the

ﬁ replace. If the blower is not coming on at the desired time, ﬂ ip the override switch to manual and operate the blower as

described above. The override switch and the blower speed control are hard

wired at time of installation and installed in a standard wall mount with junction box on the wall.

G. Heat Zone Operation

The Heat-Zone accessory kit conveys warm air from the ﬁ replace through air duct(s) to remote locations in the same room or other rooms of the building. You may install 1 or 2 Heat-Zone kits on the ﬁ replace. Follow the instructions that is supplied with the kit. Installation of this kit MUST be performed by a qualiﬁ ed service technician. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your local dealer before starting installation. DO NOT install a damaged kit.

The Heat-Zone kit is carefully engineered and must be installed only as speciﬁ ed. If you modify it or any of its com- ponents, you will void the warranty and you may possibly cause a ﬁ re hazard. Installation must be done according to applicable local, state, provincial, and/or national codes.

CAUTION

H. Wood Fuel

Hardwood vs. Softwood

Your ﬁ replace’s performance depends a great deal on the quality of the ﬁ rewood you use. Contrary to popular belief, one species of wood varies very little to the other in terms of energy content. All seasoned wood, regardless of species, contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound. The important factor is that hardwoods have a greater density than softwoods. Therefore, a piece of hardwood will contain about 60% more BTU’s than an equal size piece of softwood. Since ﬁ rewood is commonly sold by the cord (128 cu. ft) a volume measurement, a cord of seasoned oak (hardwood) would contain about 60% more potential energy than a cord of seasoned pine (softwood).

There are many deﬁ nitions of hardwood and softwood. Although not true in every case, one of the most reliable is to classify them as coniferous or deciduous. Softwoods are considered coniferous. These are trees with needle-like leaves that stay green all year and carry their seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of softwood trees are Douglas ﬁ r, pine, spruce and cedar . Softwoods, being more porous, require less time to dry, burn faster and are easier to ignite than hardwoods. Deciduous trees are broadleaf trees that lose their leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usually found within a protective pod or enclosure. Hardwoods fall into this category. Some examples of deciduous trees are oak, maple, apple, and birch. However, it should be noted that there are some deciduous trees that are deﬁ nitely not considered hardwoods such as poplar, aspen and alder . Hardwoods require more time to season, burn slower and are usually harder to ignite than softwoods. Obviously, you will use the type of wood that is most readily available in your area. However, if at all possible the best arrangement is to have a mix of softwood and hardwood. This way you can use the softwood for starting the ﬁ re giving off quick heat to bring the appliance up to operating temperature. Then add the hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.

Moisture content

Regardless of which species of wood you burn, the single most important factor that affects the way your ﬁ replace operates is the amount of moisture in the wood. The majority of the problems ﬁ replace owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood. Freshly cut wood can be as much water as it is wood, having a moisture content of around 50%. Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about 8 pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the ﬁ rebox and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood. Dead wood lying on the forest ﬂ oor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can be considered to be about two-thirds seasoned, if cut at the dry time of the year.

The problems with burning wet, unseasoned wood are two fold. First, you will receive less heat output from wet wood because it requires energy in the form of heat to evaporate the water trapped inside. This is wasted energy that should be used for heating your home. Secondly , this moisture evaporates in the form of steam which has a cooling effect in your ﬁ rebox and chimney system. When combined with tar and other organic vapors from burning wood it will form creosote which condenses in the relatively cool ﬁ rebox and chimney. See the maintenance section of this manual for more information regarding creosote formation and need for removal.

Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one hour. To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry. If your wood sizzles in the ﬁ re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured.

Seasoning

Seasoned ﬁ rewood is nothing more than wood that is cut to size, split and air dried to a moisture content of around 20%. The time it takes to season wood varies from around nine months for soft woods to as long as eighteen months for hardwoods. The key to seasoning wood is to be sure it has been split, exposing the wet interior and increasing the surface area of each piece. A tree that was cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it was cut.

7100FP EPA Woodburning Fireplace

WARNING

Fire Risk

• Do NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Store wood in dry location.

• Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air.

Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote.

Storing Wood

Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time. The following guideline will ensure properly seasoned wood:

a. Stack the wood to allow air to circulate freely around

and through the woodpile.

b. Elevate the woodpile off the ground to allow air cir-

culation underneath.

c. The smaller the pieces, the faster the drying process.

Any piece over 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter should be split.

d. Wood should be stacked so that both ends of each

piece are exposed to air, since more drying occurs through the cut ends than the sides. This is true even with wood that has been split.

e. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or cov-

ered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process. Avoid covering the sides and ends completely . Doing so may trap moisture from the ground and impede air circulation.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Do NOT store wood:

• Closer than required clearances to combustibles to ﬁ replace.

• Within space required for loading or ash removal.

I. Starting a Fire

Before lighting your ﬁ rst ﬁ re in the ﬁ replace, make cer- tain that the bafﬂ e and the ceramic blanket are correctly positioned. It should be resting against the rear support.

Also refer to care and cleaning of plated surfaces on page 58 before lighting your ﬁ rst ﬁ re.

NOTE: REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE

LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR APPLIANCE.

There are many ways to build a ﬁ re. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning ﬁ rewood. Here is one method that works well:

1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the ﬁ re- box ﬂ oor. Heating the ﬂ ue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.

3. Fully open the Slide Air Control by moving it completely to the right.

4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the ﬁ replace. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the ﬂ ue unob- structed.

5. Light the paper in the ﬁ replace. NEVER light or

rekindle ﬁ replace with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter ﬂ uid; the results can be fatal.

6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3 in. (76 mm) or 4 in. (102 mm) in diameter. Be careful not to smother the ﬁ re. Stack the pieces of wood carefully: near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air ﬂ ow between them.

7. When ready to reload the ﬁ replace, add more logs. Large logs burn slowly, holding a ﬁ re longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

8. Adjust the Slide Air Control; the more you close down the Control, (sliding left) the lower and slower the ﬁ re will burn. The more you open the Air Control, (sliding right) the more heat will be produced and the faster the wood will burn.

Note: The ﬁ rst three or four ﬁ res should be of moderate size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the ﬁ replace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice an industrial odor the ﬁ rst few ﬁ res. This is considered normal.

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation. Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids clear of ﬁ replace.

• Do NOT store ﬂ ammable materials close to the ﬁ replace.

• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂ uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a ﬁ re in this ﬁ replace.

• Keep all such liquids well away from the ﬁ replace while it is in use.

Combustible materials may ignite.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

For use with solid wood fuel only. Other fuels may overﬁ re and generate

poisonous gases (i.e. carbon monoxide).

As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will maintain a continuous ﬁ re throughout the season.

NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your ﬁ replace is ﬁ nished with will cure as your ﬁ replace heats. You will notice an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from the ﬁ replace surface; this is normal. We recommend that you open a window until the odor dissipates and paint is cured.

NOTE: Fireplace should be run full open for a minimum of 30 minutes a day during heating season to keep air passages clean.

J. Burning Process

Fire requires 3 things to burn: fuel, air and heat. If heat is robbed from the ﬁ replace during the drying stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry , seasoned ﬁ rewood. We do not advise burning unsea- soned wood, however if it happens, you must open the Slide Air Control and burn the ﬁ replace at a high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning.

Kindling or 1st stage:

It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in order to understand what goes on inside a ﬁ replace. The ﬁ rst stage of burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage, the wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evaporate the moisture which is present in all wood. The wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water is evaporated. This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the ﬁ replace.

2nd stage:

The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period when the wood gives off ﬂ ammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright ﬂ ames. During this stage of burning it is very important that the ﬂ ames be main- tained and not allowed to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible ﬁ re. If you are adjusting your ﬁ replace for a low burn rate, you should close down the air to the point where you can still maintain some ﬂ ame. If the ﬂ ames tend to go out, the ﬁ replace is set too low for your burning conditions.

K. Automatic Combustion Control (ACC)

Typically, when you build a ﬁ re, you need to open the

controls to give the ﬁ re more air so the wood will start burning. You would then have to physically watch the ﬁ re and shut down the air controls so the ﬁ replace does not overﬁ re and burn up your wood too quickly. With the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC) system, you do not have to physically watch the ﬁ re. Once you set the ACC system it will monitor the ﬁ re for you.

Set the ACC slide control to HIGH by moving it all the way to the right. As you move the control rod to the right, about 3/4 of the way you will feel some resistance. You must move past that resistance approximately 3/4 in. (19 mm) to reach the HIGH setting. Start your ﬁ re and then

move the slide control to the left to the desired burn rate. (See page 50 for the position of the slide control for the different burn rates.) The ﬁ replace will automatically go to that level after the ﬁ re is fully established. This allows for less manual monitoring of the ﬁ re and more efﬁ cient use of fuel while maintaining the desired heat output.

NOTE: Close controls when not burning.

Left - Close

Right - Open

Final stage:

The ﬁ nal stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the ﬂ ammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue ﬂ ames.

It is very important to reload your ﬁ replace while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. It is best to open the air control for a short while before reloading. This livens up the coalbed. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ﬁ replace through opening. Y ou should also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid evenly on hot coals.

CAUTION

Fireplace operation does require air. Do not take air from other fuel burning appliances which can result in improper venting (smoking) or air dilution. Always provide adequate makeup air.

L. Burning Guidelines

For maximum operating efﬁ ciency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures:

1. Regardless of desired heat output, when loading the ﬁ replace, burn your ﬁ replace with the Slide Air Control wide open (fully to the right) for a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes.

2. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Slide Air Control. See Figure 49.1 on page 49.

3. Heat output settings: Follow the burn rate instructions listed below.

NOTE: T o establish your settings, always begin with the air control all the way to the left to STOP and then move it to the right for your desired setting.

Burn Rate

N. Opacity

his is the measure of how cleanly your ﬁ replace is burn- ing. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney , and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your ﬁ replace, you should periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to burn your ﬁ replace as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.

• Do NOT store ﬂ ammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter ﬂ uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a ﬁ re in this heater.

• Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

• Combustible materials may ignite.

NOTE: BURN DRY, WELL-SEASONED WOOD.

M. Burn Rates

HIGH - Maximum Heat: Fully open (slide air control

all the way to the right). It is important to do this when reloading the ﬁ replace. Failure to do this could result in excessive emissions (smoke).

MEDIUM HIGH BURN RATE - 15,000 to 30,000 BTU: After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes, close the Slide Air Control to 1/2 in. - 1-1/2 in. (13 mm-38 mm) distance open. (Move the handle to left to stop and then to right for the proper setting).

MEDIUM - 10,000 - 15,000 BTU: After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces or wet wood), slide Slide Air Control left to 1/8 in. -1/2 in. (3 mm-13 mm) distance open. (Move the handle to left to stop and then to right for the proper setting).

LOW - Below 10,000 BTU: After a wood load has been burning on high for 5 to 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces or wet wood), gradually slide the Air Control left to close down the air, making sure to maintain ﬂ ames in the ﬁ replace. It is very important to maintain ﬂ ames in your ﬁ replace during the ﬁ rst few hours of a low burn to avoid excessive air pollution.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Do NOT store wood:

• Closer than required clearances to combustibles to appliance

• Within space required for loading or ash removal.

Do NOT operate appliance:

• With appliance door open.

• With ash removal system door open.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

• Do NOT burn wet or green wood.

• Store wood in dry location.

• Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air.

Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of creosote.

O. Overﬁ ring

Do not overﬁ re. Using ﬂ ammable liquids or too

much wood, burning trash in the ﬁ replace, or allowing too much air into the ﬁ replace, may result in overﬁ ring. If the chimney connector or ﬁ replace glows red or even worse, white, the ﬁ replace is overﬁ red. This condition may ignite creosote in the chimney, which can be dangerous, possibly causing a house ﬁ re. If you overﬁ re, immediately close the air controls and door, if open, to reduce the air supply to the ﬁ re. Overﬁ ring will void the

ﬁ replace warranty.

P. Chimney Fire

In the event of a chimney ﬁ re:

• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected by qualiﬁ ed professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certiﬁ ed professionals, or technicians under the direction of certiﬁ ed professionals, conduct a minimum of an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.

• Replace components of the chimney and ﬁ replace as speciﬁ ed by the professionals.

Q. Fire Safety

To provide reasonable ﬁ re safety, the following should be given serious consideration:

1. Install at least one smoke detector on each ﬂ oor of your home to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.

2. A conveniently located Class A ﬁ re extinguisher to contend with small ﬁ res resulting from burning embers.

3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.

4. A plan to deal with a chimney ﬁ re as follows:

In the event of a chimney ﬁ re:

a. Notify ﬁ re department b. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation. c. Close all openings into the stove. d. While awaiting ﬁ re department, watch for ignition of

adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.

• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney is properly secured.

A chimney ﬁ re can permanently damage your chimney sys- tem. Failure to replace damaged components and make proper repairs creates risk of ﬁ re.

September 7, 2007

433-1390D

7100FP EPA Woodburning Fireplace

This ﬁ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ﬁ replace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the ﬁ replace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pressure within the structure where the ﬁ replace is located.

Troubleshooting

A. Understanding Vent Problems

If smoke spillage occurs from a ﬁ replace opening when the door is open and the proper chimney height, ﬂ ue size, and conﬁ guration requirements for the installation have been met, there is either a leakage in the ﬂ ue, a blockage in the

ﬂ ue, or some condition is in effect to draw smoke from the ﬁ replace into the house. Understanding and dif ferentiating

the conditions which can cause each of these kinds of spillage problems is essential to their solution.

• Flue Leakage

Check for improperly connected ﬂ ue joints or a damaged

ﬂ ue joint in the chimney system. Such leakage would reduce draft (air would be drawn in through the leaks rather than through the ﬁ replace). The result might be difﬁ cult start-up and smoky ﬁ res that might spill if other adverse draft conditions accompany this problem.

If the ﬁ re is hard to start and smoke spills out of the ﬁ replace, or you ﬁ nd it difﬁ cult to establish and maintain a moderately high burn rate, then the ﬂ ue draft is too low and corrective measures must be taken.

Be sure you have air available for combustion and that your ﬁ rewood is dry and well seasoned. Build your ﬁ res properly and according to the instructions given in operating instructions, “Starting a Fire”. Be sure your ﬂ ue system is installed correctly and that it is the proper diameter and height. Check for the following:

• All chimney sections are properly installed.

• The chimney is clean and free of creosote or soot buildup.

• Make sure overhanging trees and branches are cut back within ten feet of the top of the chimney and is free of debris from animals.

• Ensure the chimney cap is clean and free of any buildup of soot or creosote. if cap is equipped with a spark arrestor screen.

• Be sure the ceramic blanket (above the bafﬂ e) and the bafﬂ e are in their proper positions

• Flue Blockage The damper should be open.

B. Draft Problems

This ﬁ replace will operate correctly only if adequate ventila- tion is provided to allow proper draft to the ﬁ replace system. Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the ﬁ replace system caused by inadequate draft due to environmental conditions, windy conditions, down drafts, tight sealing construction of the structure, or mechanical exhausting devices which will create a negative air pressure within the structure where the ﬁ replace is located.

Flue draft is measured as negative pressure in the chimney . The amount of negative pressure determines how strong the draft is. The draft is important because it draws the combustion air into the ﬁ replace and pulls the smoke out of the chimney.

There are three basic criteria essential in establishing and maintaining ﬂ ue draft:

• Availability of combustion air.

• Heat generated from the ﬁ re.

• Diameter and height of the ﬂ ue system.

These three factors work together as a system to create the ﬂ ue draft. Increasing or decreasing any one of them will affect the other two and thus change the amount of draft in the entire system.

• The wood being used in dry and well seasoned.

If you still suspect you have a low draft problem it may be necessary to increase the volume of air in your ﬂ ue system. Since the diameter of your ﬂ ue system is matched with the size of the ﬂ ue collar and should not be changed, then the height of the system must be increased. Add chimney sections a little at a time until the draft improves.

In some cases, regardless of what you do, it can still be difﬁ cult to establish the proper ﬂ ue draft. This is especially evi- dent when using an exterior factory-built chimney or exterior masonry chimney. Try placing several sheets of crumpled paper on top of your kindling as close to the ﬂ ue outlet of the ﬁ replace as possible. Light this paper ﬁ rst then the paper under the kindling. The heat generated from the rapidly burning paper on top of the kindling should help get the draft established.

Still other factors can affect how well your ﬂ ue system per- forms. Neighboring structures, high winds, tall trees, even hillsides can affect air currents around the chimney. Well designed chimney caps are available that can help. Y our ﬁ place dealer is the local expert in your area. He can usually make suggestions or discover problems that can be easily corrected allowing your ﬁ replace to operate correctly as it has been designed, providing safe and economical heat for your home.

A. General Maintenance

1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning

• Frequency: As necessary; at least annually before lighting

stove or once every 2 months during heating season.

• By: Homeowner / Chimney Sweep

• Task: See the following instructions.

Remove all ash from the ﬁ rebox and extinguish all hot embers before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely. Remove bafﬂ e and ceramic blanket from appliance before cleaning chimney . Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the bafﬂ e and ceramic blanket and the appliance will not work properly. (See Bafﬂ e Removal on page 32). Close the door tightly. The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush speciﬁ cally designed for the type of chimney in use. Clean out fallen ashes from the ﬁ rebox. A chimney sweep can perform this service.

It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if necessary.

Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.

Formation and Need For Removal: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ﬂ ue of a newly-started or a slow-burning ﬁ re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂ ue lining. When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely hot ﬁ re which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney ﬁ re.

2. Disposal of Ashes

• Frequency: As necessary

• By: Homeowner

• Task: See the following instructions.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight ﬁ tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible ﬂ oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁ nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

B. Glass Replacement

1. Ensure that the ﬁ re is out and the appliance is cool to the touch.

2. Protect a table or counter top with padding or towels.

3. Remove door with broken glass from the appliance by lifting door up and off of the hinges.

4. Lay door face down on a table or counter making sure handle and handle attachment knob hang over the edge of the table top so door lays ﬂ at, on a soft surface.

5. Remove screws from the top and bottom glass frames (5 on each door) using a #2 Phillips Head screwdriver. Set frames aside and retain screws.

HINT: Soak screws in penetrating oil for easy removal.

6. Remove the glass and discard.

7. Position the new glass with edges evenly overlapping the opening in the front door.

8. Replace the glass frames. Be careful not to cross thread the screws.

9. Start screws to secure glass frames to door, keeping them loose for adjusting the glass. Then continue to tighten each screw alternately, a few turns at a time, until the glass panel is tightened snugly . DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.

10. Replace the door on the appliance.

11. After the ﬁ rst burn, recheck the tightness of the screws.

NOTE: REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE

LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR APPLIANCE.

3. Glass Cleaning

• Frequency: As necessary

• By: Homeowner

• Task: See the following instructions.

Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on during the next ﬁ ring can permanently stain the glass and damage the ﬁ nish on plated metal surfaces.

A portion of the combustion air entering the ﬁ rebox is deﬂ ected down over the inside of the door glass. This air ﬂ ow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be ﬂ owing over the glass and the smoky, relatively cool condition of a low ﬁ re will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the appliance with the Burn Rate Air Control and Start-Up Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Injury Risk.

• Use only glass speciﬁ ed in manual.

• DO NOT REPLACE with any other material. Glass breakage will occur.
